Trump draws criticism as Charlottesville mourns march victim
MOURNERS gathered in the US city of Charlottesville yesterday to honour Heather Heyer who was killed after a neonazi rammed into a crowd protesting against Saturday’s far-right march.
The morning memorial service took place at the city’s Paramount Theatre as condemnation against US President Donald Trump’s shocking response to the tragedy mounted.
On Tuesday Mr Trump enraged both Republicans and Democrats after he defended far-right protesters at the Charlottesville rally, saying they were not all neonazis and white supremamacists.
